In any case of yours, I think simplicity with taste is the best policy when it comes to UI's. There will certainly be animations like a big metal door closing-in over the bg, opening to a new UI, and other stuff like that, which I don't think you've taken into account. I really hope there are no 'big closing doors', it wouldn't fit with the bg at all and is such an ugly way to change screens... | ||

I wish the game menu screeny was larger so that I could make it my screensaver/desktop. yeah...i think it goes like this...someone makes a rumor that sc2 will have no lan. blizzard totally ignores the rumor and the fans conclude that it must have no lan even though blizzard is ignoring the rumor, they seem to think that means there is no lan. in response to the posts about the pink color... i hope sc2 has the green green color that starcraft had for ice and desert tilesets. in warcraft 3 they had a bright green which looks like zerg baneling and spawning pool and baneling nest color, so obviously it would be bad to use that same color for team color, so it seems likely they'll bring back the green green from starcraft broodwar. yeah war3 had a bluegreen/aqua/teal/cyan whatever you wanna call it...and then there's the dark green/dark aqua whatever it's called...and then there's a silver blue color...which looks a lot like the light grey color...and instead of a normal orange they have a yellow orange which looks like their yellow because it's got so much yellow in it. kindof annoying i always have to switch between true colors and allied colors to figure out who the players are talking to and then switch back before i get into a battle or else i won't be able to tell who is on what team during the battle...pink is a fine color it doesn't really look like the other colors so that's good...purple and pink could look similiar but they don't. i just, really hope, that starcraft 2 keeps the By tileset law of what colors are allowed. in warcraft 3 you could like pick a color that was good for a terrain because there would be so much of that terrain on the minimap. all the colors were 12 colors plus 1 for no color for neutrals. every tileset had the same colors. but in broodwar in twilight you couldn't be blue...in ice tileset you couldn't be white and in desert tileset you couldn't be brown...i think that's how it went. of course this sort of thing ought to be melee map only. you can still make a custom with whatever colors for the players you wanted but then it wouldn't be classified as a melee map. that's how i hope it'll be...so i guess if there were some pretty pink paradise tileset then you wouldn't be able to be pink cuz it'd be unfair...lol. | ||

And there's just no way they could cut lan games from SC2. It wouldn't make any sense and suck completly for offline tournaments. I hate the Broodlord. Maybe the only unit right now that I think looks really bad. I'm just hoping he features some kick ass attack animation to make up for it. The Infestor looks awesome. | ||

I hope there isn't any delay switching between menu screens like in War3 (IE: chains/doors). Or if there is, hopefully you can turn it off! | ||

Anyone who had not played bw or sc1 would look at a simular screen shot and think the same thing because they don't recognize any of the units or structures. When you look at a screen shot of bw you understand only because of your prior expierence. Also you are watching a still shot. When animation is occuring it becomes a lot easier to figure out exactly what object is doing what instead of having a "out of context" view. Personally I think the game is comming along great graphically. | ||

Corruptors and stuff are ok, its the nonmoving part that makes it weird, the whole game looks so different when its animated (as you actually know from experience :p). Pew pew! | ||

yeah...i think it goes like this...someone makes a rumor that sc2 will have no lan. blizzard totally ignores the rumor and the fans conclude that it must have no lan even though blizzard is ignoring the rumor, they seem to think that means there is no lan. Goes like this: Blizzard announces Diablo 3 will not have LAN. People start a discussion about it, and ask themselves what this means for SC2. Rumour about SC2 not having LAN starts. Blizzard doesn't answer questions about whether SC2 will have LAN or not. (tried to find out several times, but they don't seem to want to reveal those things yet, maybe it's still up in the air?) | ||
